YES! $35 for pre-adolescent bathroom jokes in blue greasepaint. "Cool!"

I had the pleasure of seeing Blue Man Group live in their hometown of Boston last year. Was a fantastic show. Their CDs are good, but the show will blow you away.

Those of us who are still waiting for a "Stomp" CD. It might make more sense after you strap on your favorite drum (I like bass) and march down a street (or football field) with a hundred or so of your best friends, making a bit of noise in 4/4. It's a percussion thing.

I thought the music was boring when I heard it performed live at the Charles Street Playhouse. It doesn't sound any better on the radio. Please stop it.

In the name of God, please stop. Who in their right mind EVER thought that banging on PVC pipe would sound "great" on a CD? This novelty act has officially wrung every last drop of commercialism out if its trite existence. And to those who think this is "drumming" please wake up. The good folks behind Wrigley Field on Sheffield and Waveland can bang better than these dolts.

I agree. This works better live. The recording sounds like "Safri Duo" playing on waste pipes

Saw Blue Man Group live at the Luxor in Vegas this past summer. (They've since moved to the Venetian.) This music works much better live.

I loved their show in Astor Place in the 90s, but I find the whole Blue Man Group as a band (and a franchise) thing quite cheesy.

After seeing these guys perform, I'm always excited to hear a song on RP by them. I can see why some folks might not be so moved. If you saw them, you'd understand. GREAT show...GREAT band backing them up. Just awesome!

If the album art were shot from a diffferent angle, you'd see the guy on the left is wearing cutoffs.

Finally, a BMG tune that works! Sure, it ain't no "YYZ" but it's still a decent jam.

I have to agree that this is more performance art than musicianship. But they ARE really fun to watch.

Most definitely a VISUAL group. Saw them live, and they rocked. But if you don't have the visual experience to refer to, I can see how you might be bored. Incredible, high-energy show!

This doesn't do anything for me w/o the visuals. But it's got a good beat and you can dance to it.

Suddenly, I feel compelled to upgrade my processor. Their Vegas show is still the highlight of my BMG experience, though I've heard Beantown's a blast too. Words can't describe how fun and exciting the show is. Not your typical concert, to say the least. Solid tune.
Posted 20 years ago by Roverfish    [ Reply ]
Caught the traveling rock show (entitled The Complex) as the tour moved through Minneapolis. The bill in our venue was BMG, VenusHum and Tracy Bonham. Yowza. Words alone cannot possibly do justice to the energy I felt as part of this audience. It was my first live BMG show (and I can say with certainty it will not be my last!) Same goes for VenusHum (I'll try uploading some VHum once Bill gets the upload thing working again :) ) -T

PVC never sounded so good.
Posted 21 years ago by KevinM    [ Reply ]
I stand corrected -- it is short, but sweet (although I think when I heard it here, it was even shorter than normal.) And ladyj, you are correct -- the tunes are much more exciting live. If it's not too late, try to catch them in Detroit: The Complex Tour I'd expect soniablue will be there...

I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it. Although I have never seen them live I was thinking that seeing one of their shows would make all the songs seem good.
